Between changing weather and over the top stress at work I am ready to throw in the towel. I hurt from head to toe and have no functioning brain cells.

[Travelinglady]

Gentle hugs to you all.

This evening I tripped over my own two feet (I get clumsy when fibro is acting up) fell and hit my head on the corner of a metal railing. It gave me a tiny cut at the hairline that bled like crazy. My house and I looked like the prom scene in Carrie before I got it stopped. Have kept an ice pack on it most of the evening, but am going to have a good sized knot on my head. Hurts like hades when I take the ice off.

Dang, it it's not one thing it's another!

[Travelinglady]

((((liz)))) Wish I could be there to help you.

Ouch!

Sorry you fell, lizardlady ...

[cakeladie]

Liz be careful I hope you feel better soon. Our weather has been crazy warm one day then freezing cold the next and then the rain. On top of everything else I have 2 ear infections and a sinus infection. Then McGee our cat brought home a strange cat. That cat is now sitting on our porch meowing and meow sounds pathetic like he might be sick.

[lizardlady]

Am going to survive my bit of clumsiness from the other night.

Cake, it's go to see you here. Have been wondering how you were. Sorry about the infections. Don't you love it when one of the rescues invites another to move into the house?!

Well, it's come down to this ... I've had to request a reasonable accommodation at work ... I'm in so much pain that I spend some of my lunch breaks in the bathroom having myself a good crying jag ... The upside is that my PCP & me are reasonably certain that we have figured out what is causing this aggravation to my condition (thus the spike in inflammation and pain) and are pretty sure that if I go back to my old route (that bus has a totally different operating system) it will help everything to settle back down a bit ... Of course, I won't ever be totally pain free but at least it will be more tolerable ... The way it is now, I'd literally rather be dead than to continue living in this kind of pain!

[cakeladie]

I am going to have to get a trap for McGee's friend at least it's not the skunk he's been trying to be friends with a skunk for a while. Right now he's sick he had a very bad reaction to new flea meds. I called the vet who had me call the manufacturer to report it and to see if what he was experiencing was a bad reaction and they said it's rare but yes it is. Our other cat sunny also got a dose and he throw up twice that's a common reaction but he throws up a lot.

My pulmonary doctor increase my pred I think any doctor who prescrips it should have fi take it first so they know how we feel

I read an article today that said fibro patients should get a pet scan and that a lot of people with fibro have brain inflammation which makes a lot of sense when you think of the brain fog but I thought it was really interesting because my SED rate is always really high and we can't seem to get it down. I never thought of the brain like that.

Anyway take care everyone

Sending gentle hugs and positive vibes from California to you

I got stung bu a wasp right next to my right eye Sunday. Little beast was apparently annoyed that I was cleaning up dead leaves in the yard.

I'm allergic to bee/wasp stings. I came straight in the house and put Benadryl cream on the sting, then an ice pack. That side of my face still swelled like crazy. I worked from home Monday. Figured I'd scare the kids if I went to work. Didn't think driving with one eye swollen shut was a good idea either.

Swelling is almost gone, but the whole mess triggered a fibro flare. I feel like poo.

I did not see the human being in this gif before I posted it ... Kinda freaked me out a little so I deleted it ... But, still ...

Ugh ...

Indeed!

[cakeladie]

Take care Liz

on sunday I ate some out of date chicken so ended up with a really bad stomach ache (and other side affects too) for days

well, I say days, I think it was about wednesday afternoon when I started feeling better

and of course I can't sleep, so recovery was extra slow, because I didn't have the rest

that aside, honestly no idea what i'm doing or where i'm going in life, complete standstill

[~Christina]

I’m so bloody sick of my pain. It never relents , ever .. I’m always at a 7 or above.

I don’t post here much anymore I get tired of being a broken record.

I really hate my life sometimes

[Calypso2632]

Hey all new to chime in here, Christina directed me, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia around 2011 I think. Currently trying lyrica but 14 or so days in and nothing. About to start a new job stocking at Wal-Mart. Physically intense but can't say no to income. Was a Cna for years before this. Excited for my new job but not the pain I'm about to be in. I already don't sleep for crap. Flexeril does little on good days. Once I get a paycheck I'm going to try some more potent CBD. Doctors and pharmaceutical have pretty much failed. Tired of life this way. Can't talk to anyone about it because they have no concept of pain. Not really. I mean I've broken things and given birth to a child and this is just ******** in comparison. It never stops. Other pain stops.. that's what people just don't get.. Ugh

{*{*{*{*Christina*}*}*}*} some times I feel the same way about being a broken record, but we are here to listen.

[cakeladie]

Sending you gentle hugs and positive vibes from California

Cake good to see you too !

Sorry your having such a rough time too

It’s actually been a pretty mild winter * knock on wood* not much snow or ice thankfully.

Hope you can catch a break

my back is killing me today

litirally, I spent the morning picking up falling clothes from my wardrobe, and if their's one thing bad backs can't stand is leaning down to pick things up (it's ashame that my grabber can't pick up clothes)

that aside, I'm actually glad that today shouldn't be too stressfull

the last few days i've been planning for meetings, been anxious about meetings, (yesterday I had a really intense meeting), i just need a break from the anxiety

it's not over yet (because their's more meetings to come), but for now I can hopefully start to relax (even though my version of relaxing is sitting in a chair in terrible pain)

no anxiety though. that's the main thing

I went out today to get some fish fingers for dinner.

also while I was out grabbed a copy of harry potter and the chamber of secrets (which to be fair, is now the only harry potter book I still have any interest in), I still like harry potter and the magical universe, but hmm, I guess I have a long way to go before I'm classed as a hard core fan

I also grabbed a shower today

taken it's toll though, because once again my back is killing me, I am nautious (probably from the extreme pain) and I'm out of breath

I was thinking earlier about how old I felt/ feel

I'm falling apart peace by peace

at least my physical body is

[sarahsweets]

I have various chronic pains due to Sjogren's but the pain from this surgery is terrible. Im wondering if I made a mistake by getting it... Ah ignore me I am just having a pity party.

feeling depressed

had breakfast and did my usual alexa games (5/15), that's pretty bay

back killing me as usual and can't think of many reasons to be greatful today. litirally the only thing that crosses my mind is that their's a nice breeze outside. it's lovely with my window open feeling the breeze

last night was so loud outside

gave me a bit of a headache (which thankfully is all ready going)

I feel depressed today, but figure it has a lot to do with it being sunday

I have never coped well with sundays. I don't know what it is about them, they just don't work for me

[AmberShaman]

I don't often get to talk about my fibro and CFS issues with people who suffer from it... Today I've had a mild flare, was in pain and laying down most of the day as I fekt weak, and in quite a bit of pain... I was told not long ago that some of my pain may subside with the passing of my father, but it's actually been the contrary :/ I keep having flares back to back, and having to constantly face stressful situations and people haven't helped I'm sure
